Carson Wentz's knee injury is easily the most pressing news of the week for NFL fans, but several other key players, including Alvin Kamara, Josh McCown, Amari Cooper, and Kelvin Benjamin, also exited last week's games early, and you can bet fantasy owners will be looking for the latest injury updates on them ahead of putting in waiver wire claims and making start-sit decisions for Week 15.

While the news isn't good for some, there's hope for others. Follow us on Twitter @SN_Fantasy for more updates, rankings, and NFL DFS info throughout the week.

Carson Wentz injury update

The Eagles' worst fear came to fruition on Monday, as it was announced that Wentz suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. It's also possible that Wentz won't be ready for the early portion of the 2018 season.

With Wentz out, Nick Foles will take over as Philadelphia's quarterback. Obviously, this is a downgrade for everyone in the Eagles' offense, most notably pass-catchers Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, and Zach Ertz. Given the favorable matchup against the Giants this week, all could still be in play, particularly Ertz if he's over his concussion, but no one should be considered a "must-start" without Wentz.

Is Alvin Kamara playing in Week 15?

Kamara suffered a concussion early in Thursday's Week 14 game against Atlanta and did not return, finishing with only 27 total yards on four touches.

There haven't been any updates on his status, but with extra time to prepare for Sunday's game against the Jets, Kamara has a decent shot at returning. Of course, nothing should be taken for granted with concussions, as we saw last week with Joe Mixon and Zach Ertz, so be sure to monitor this situation all week. If Kamara is out, expect Mark Ingram to see 20-25 touches.

Josh McCown injury update

Despite having a solid year, it's unlikely many fantasy owners were riding with McCown every week. Still, his loss could be big for Robby Anderson, who entered Week 14 as a top-10 fantasy receiver in standard leagues. With Bryce Petty now under center, Anderson's value takes a big hit, especially facing shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore in New Orleans this week.

Amari Cooper injury news

Cooper exited Sunday's game against the Chiefs after aggravating his ankle injury while blocking. He was listed as "questionable" to return but ultimate did not.

Cooper missed the previous game because of concussion and ankle issues, and it appears he came back from the latter too quickly. It's unclear if he'll miss additional time, but this type of thing could plague him throughout the rest of the season and make him a risky start in any given week. Cordarrelle Patterson continues to see a big bump in targets with Cooper out, but Johnny Holton and Seth Roberts are just as likely to put up decent numbers, making the Raiders secondary WRs virtually unplayable.

It's possible that Benjamin's situation was worsened by the snowy conditions in Buffalo, and it's encouraging that he at least tried to return. Still, he's missed the better part of the past four games with the injury, and with wet conditions expected again in Buffalo this week against Miami, Benjamin will be a risky fantasy play. Zay Jones and Deonte Thompson will battle for targets if Benjamin is out again.
